I'm so happy that Valverde did loving nothing at worlds. I hope he retires already so we can forget about him.

Also, I'm very sad that Boels-Dolmans is losing their sponsorship for next year. The UCI WWT requirements for 2020 are rough. Hope they can find new sponsors in time...

Tigren posted:Who's more likely to win another stage at a grand tour, Froome or Cav? Froome. He's got better odds of a rider getting implicated in Operation Aderlass and bumping up to a post-facto stage win.

Loving Africa Chaps posted:GCN have launched a race pass which is £20 for the year at the moment, has the grand tours and most of the big races. What's their commentary like? Need to see how this shakes out for US coverage vs. nbc gold and flobikes, especially for olympics next year. I had been doing the eurosport sub with vpn, but they've locked that poo poo down so hard it's just too much of an annoyance.

colonel tom posted:As of now GCN doesn't have rights to any of the grand tours for the US market so it isn't really a good option. I'll stick with NBC Gold ad-free streams for what they cover and pick up the rest on Eurosport if I can be bothered to. Yeah but grand tours suck balls to watch so I don't care. I don't have time to watch boring men's racing.

peanut- posted:Okay finish lines with no crowds are proper weird Yes, but on the flipside, the finishing climb at Burgos felt SO unsafe with so many crowds. I'd rather take "that's weird, it's so empty" over "racing is cancelled in 2 weeks because crowds are yelling in riders faces like it's 2019".

That crash was awful. Will be curious to see whether there's a penalty. I've heard differing statements (not about this sprint specifically) from UCI commissaires - some saying that a sprinter that maintains a consistent direction of travel from when the sprint was engaged to the finish line is okay, even if that means they are not perfectly parallel with the road. Others interpret quote:Sprints

Eurosport only showed the Spanish and French women's races, and sadly didn't show the decisive points of the Spanish one. The French race is AMAZING, though. The tactics required to overhaul two super strong teams in FDJ and Arkea as a solo rider - amazing.

Komet posted:It looks like the Giro is being carried by GCN+ this year rather than Flo. I've been trying to figure out how much it costs. None of the pages on the site about the subscription list the price--you have to create an account first in order to see how much it costs. Do any of you subscribe to this already? It looks like I can just get one month for the Giro. The Tour and Vuelta are on NBC Sports. GCN is like $40 for the whole year or some poo poo

Loving Africa Chaps posted:Adam Blythe made the point that if the UCI hadn't banned the praying mantis riders might be able to see where they are going. Thats seriously a good point. In my UCI-legal position I really am looking straight down, with no view of anything but my arms. It's kinda okay on the track, but not really.

The only thing locally available with what I wanted (hydro discs, nice wheels, di2) was the 2021 Pinnarello prince my friend was selling, which I bought. So what I’m saying is: Go Ineos, go Magnus, go are Pidcock, go Carapaz. This but go Top Ganna
